About
DI.DAY stands for Digital Independence Day: an international campaign, started in Germany, to move away from Big Tech on the first Sunday of every month. This site is its Canadian chapter.
A volunteer, open source project. Anyone can propose a change on GitHub.
What we list
We list services that are Canadian owned, open source, or European owned, ranked in that order. Ownership decides, not headquarters. A company based in Toronto but owned abroad does not count as Canadian. Anything outside these rules is labelled as an exception with the reason. Services owned in Russia, Belarus or China are never listed.
Evidence
Every claim about headquarters, ownership or open source links to a source that supports it. If something is wrong, open an issue or a pull request with a better source.
Anyone can tell us when something is out of date or wrong. You do not need to be sure.
Out of date or wrong? Mention @DIDay@mstdn.ca on Mastodon and name the entry.
Or report a problem with DI.DAY Canada on GitHub.
If you mention our Mastodon account in a public post, a copy of that post and your handle goes into a public issue on GitHub so we can track it. Other posts and direct messages are never copied.
